Most despise going back to school, they hate feeling cooped up, trapped having to learn, but for Lolicia she feels free finally, not always on a watch. She glanced around the 9 and 3/4s platform, it's all new, it's all so big. If the feeling of going through the wall wasnt daunting enough this would be. The wall felt like a hard air, solid but not. It made her dizzy, she still felt a bit dizzy, she was usually never nervous. Lolicia didnt quite understand why she was now. Atleast her hair was up, when she felt nervous the feeling of her frizzy black hair sticking on her like an unwanted cloak just made it worse. Her black leather suitcase and wire bird cage dug into her fingers as she peered down at her raven, Juliet. Lolicia glanced back up eyed the other students, seems she didnt get the memo about owls, but a raven would work just fine. She tapped her foot as she waited for the train, although her birdcage was a bit heavy, her suitcase was light, only a few clothes, a few school books, and her uniforms, black and green. Lolicia had been sorted during the summer, Slytherin. The name replayed in her head over and over again, it sounded like an uncreative name for a snake, she couldn't imagine who thought it sounded like a proper boarding school name.But then again she had no idea what this place was going to be like, maybe it wasnt as strict as she made it out to be, after a while of thought like these racing through her head they were interrupted by an outrageously loud noise. Her head shot up she hadn't even realized she had lowered it to think. A loud horn was sounding as the bright red train pulled into the station, finally, she had only been waiting 5 minutes but she had been waiting alone so it felt like hours with only her thoughts to accompany her. As soon as the train came to a halt she boarded, she hadn't a clue where to sit, everyone already seemed to know eachother, and she stood out quite a bit. Black hair, Black dress, Black boots. She liked it that way, just like anyone else would like a striped jumper. "Always a flair for dramatics" her old nurse used to say in her heavy Irish accent. Lolicia did miss her quite a bit, Ms. Golding was almost like a mother to Lolicia, from foster care, to- that place she didn't really have anyone, maybe this school could be different. There was an empty compartment, and all the rest were stuffed with students and she didnt think she'd enjoy being canned up like that. She opened the sliding door and shoved her suitcase into one of the empty compartments above her after grabbing out a book from it, Juliet stayed next to her. She glanced over the cover of the book, she had only ever read ones written by muggles. The cover was a dark velvety blue with cursive gold writing embossed over it "Magical beasts and where to find them" she ran her thin wiry fingers over it, her nails were finally growing back. They used to make her trim them labeling them as "sharps" she thought that was dumb. They weren't even long enough when they made her cut them to do anything with. She leaned back onto the leathery seats and decided not to dwell on it, she opened it and started reading over the first page. She finally felt relaxed right before someone slid open the door. A tall, tan girl stuck her head in, she was beautiful, freckles, long dark curly hair, a Roman nose, she glanced at Lolicia before sticking her head back out and muttered something to someone next to her before sticking her head back in. "Mind if we sit with you? all the other seats are full." The girl explained, she had an undetermined accent, but then again Lolicia hadn't heard that many. She nodded "Yes that's alright" Lolicia watched as the girl and another one walked in, the two sat down on the opposite side and the tall one with the accent smiled. The other one glanced at the tall one and back at Lolicia, "Are you new?" She questioned her and Lolicia nodded a bit and extended her hand "Lolicia Transturanaz" "Angelina Johnson" she replied, the tan girl extended her hand after Angelina, "Divita Abdelaal"
